I did a similar treatment with the rear of my Chevelle. This crossmember has been recessed into the frame on both sides, via a holesaw. Did all my crossmembers this way. Nice GTO!

Very cool, I like the braces you have on the bar as well. I'll have to see if I have the room for that.

Your name is Scott as well. This is becoming creepy

Thanks bud! how have you been doin? any hopes of moving back home yet?


Well, this started off as wanting to plug a hole up on the frame i didnt like. I thought to myself, "what would be cool is a logo in this piece!" So long story short i came up with this. If I actually did it right and it comes to fruition or not is another story but i inquired about water jet services just a bit ago. so we will see. The bad thing is, if everything goes smoothly, then ill probably go crazy making new things for the car

water jet cutting or even laser cutting can easily make that part a reality. The problem will be cost as typically the companies expect to make a lot of one part. You may want to inquire with someone who has a plasma cutter and can either do it by hand or in a smaller quantity.

No luck on moving home yet. Still just plugging away out here.
